West End is a small village, north of Woking. www.gordons.school/page/?title=History+o...on%27s+School&pid=92

Please note that there is no public access to Gordon's School, its chapel, or the school grounds. Access to the ABW memorial, which is in the chapel, is limited to occasional heritage and open days during which the School is open to the public. My thanks to Mrs. Julie West, Gordonian Officer, for arranging my visit to the school chapel, and also to the school grounds.









I couldn't identify all the men on the plaque. Can anyone help, please?
